"At the far end of the room O'Brien was sitting at a table under a green-shaded lamp." (Page 167)
O'Brien's room is said to be softly lit by this green-shaded lamp, which gives the upper Party a tone of silent power. A green shaded lamp is typically found on a bankers desk, which makes O'Brien's desk parallel to a Banker's power. Orwell uses this lamp as imagery to give O'Brien's room a influential that contrast that of the lower Party.
